(Tightening torque: 20 ± 2 N·m)

Inspection

1. Use an oil pressure tester as shown in the illustration.

WARNING

 DO NOT remove oil pressure switch until engine cools down.
 Prolonged and repeated contact with engine oil will be harmful to your skin. If engine oil spills on your 

skin, wash it off immediately with water. In addition, the used engine oil contains potentially harmful

2. Install the oil pressure tester into the thread hole (4) of oil 

pressure switch as shown in the illustration.

3. Install the oil pressure switch (2) onto the tester (1) and 

connect the oil pressure switch connector.

4. Connect the oil pressure switch to the body.
5. Start engine and oil pressure warning light (3) comes on, 

then observe the pressure reading on tester. If oil 
pressure warning light still comes on when oil pressure is 
higher than 75 kPa, replace the oil pressure switch.

Installation

1. Remove the oil and impurities on oil pressure switch and its thread hole.
2. Apply a small amount of seal gum to the threads when 

installing the oil pressure switch as shown in the 
illustration.
